(Sweden) Energy efficiency is a hot topic all over the world, especially for the energy-intensive pulp and paper industry. The aim of E2 is to be the hub in a network of expertise and competence in the area of energy efficiency which will include universities, research institutes, pulp and paper mills, supplier companies and industry consultants. By facilitating contacts, interchange and resource allocation between numerous key people and groups in this network, it is anticipated that E2 will be able to shorten the lead-time for bringing an idea from the conceptual stage through to market introduction.
E2 has been created with strong support from The Paper Province, a cluster organization that coordinates and develops cooperation based on a unique cluster of competence in the pulp and paper industry. The Paper Province includes around 250 companies active in more than 100 countries and has been designated as a Top EU cluster in high innovation regions. The area around Karlstad in central Sweden has the key infrastructure prerequisites for operating R&D activities in the area of energy efficiency in the pulp and paper industry.
The Board of Directors includes a wide variety of professionals with specialist competencies which can help the Centre to establish key relations on a worldwide basis. A separate Advisory Board comprised of experts in the area of energy efficiency will be set up shortly.
The Board of Directors includes; Cao Zhenlei, China National Pulp & Paper Research Institute; Hugh O’Brian, Editor and Consultant; Anders Björn, Metso Paper Karlstad; Mats Williams, The Paper Province; Håkan Larsson, Consultant; Eva Eriksson, County of Värmland; Ulf Eliasson, Stora Enso; and Kerstin Norén, Karlstad University.
The Energy Square is a non-profit organization but will be financed by the stakeholders and projects managed by the centre. It is an open, international and multicultural environment that can deliver energy efficient solutions rapidly by increasing the opportunity for financing ideas and shortening lead times from idea to market introduction.
For more information or to find out how you can participate in the activities of the Energy Square please contact Ingrid Ivars, Vice President, The Energy Square. She can be reached at: www.energysquare.se
